Håkon Kaulum - Towards the Esefjord
(1863 - 1933)
Kaulum was born in Bergen. The first time Kaulum is found in Balestrand is in the hotel's guest books in 1897. He was particularly fond of Esefjell. He moved to Balestrand and built the house "Jotunheimen", which was covered by an avalanche in 1928. This year was a disastrous year for Balestrand, with many avalanches and human lives lost. When Jotunheimen was covered by the avalanche, an original house with a lot of art disappeared. He died in Kristiania.
